Last week's rankings
Hot
- Sherbrooke Phoenix: Thanks to a five game point streak (4 wins, 1 extra time loss), the Phoenix jump into the contendership tier.
- Cape Breton Eagles: The Eagles remain one of the QMJHL's hottest teams, with points in 12 of their last 13. Expect a push into the contender spot.
- Charlottetown Islanders: The Isles remain sneaky good. The team has won eight of their last 10. Could this be the week that the team surges above .500 again?
Not
- Chicoutimi Saguenéens: The Sags drop two this week, bringing their record over the last 10 games to a dismal 3-6-1. With Sherbrooke jumping into the contendership tier, and many middle-tier teams heating up as well, we could very well see the Sags drop a tier if their fall continues.
- Victoriaville Tigres: It's official, the Tigres have their own tier, for now. The team is eight points out of a playoff spot and remains on pace to only separate themselves further from the rest of the league -- with only four wins (over 17 games) since Dec. 1st. The team also remains incapable of securing the win in overtime or shootout, the only team in the league without a win in extra time
